This is the pair of denim that I always reach for when packing—they seamlessly take me from travel days to neighborhood hopping to dinners with friends. The loose, baggy fit means they remain comfortable for hours of sitting, standing, walking around, or doing just about anything else, and the variety of color options from a summery white to a night-on-the-town dark wash suit every activity. The high-rise fit is comfortable and flattering, and my secret weapon is the cinch adjusters—two adjustable snaps on either side of the waistband—that can help customize the fit to your body. While they’re advertised to help cinch in your jeans to avoid the waist gap, I find them just as helpful (if not more) for un-cinching after a large meal or when you’re sitting for a long time, say, on a cross-country flight.
I’m a stickler about clothing composition (something my friends make fun of me for whenever we’re shopping), and I won’t purchase a single thing without checking the materials first. One of my favorite things about these Levi’s (and a few of the other pairs I have at home) is that they’re made with 100% cotton, so they are more durable and maintain their shape well—something you’ll notice after hours on a flight with them bent and wrinkled from your awkward seating positions.
If high-waisted isn’t really your cup of tea or you’re looking for a different denim style, there are plenty of other Levi’s on sale right now for Prime Day. Read on to see some of my favorites—and a few styles I’ll be shopping myself.

Even more Levi’s jeans are on sale for as high as 56% off right now, many of which I’m eyeing for my own wardrobe, like the Cinch Barrel jeans. A few other pairs that are staples in my closet are the 318 Shaping wide-leg jeans, which are chic enough to wear to the office (especially if you purchase them in a darker shade as I did), and the Low Loose jeans, which have that quintessential “I just threw this on” vibe that’s almost off-duty model-esque—perfect for casual days roaming around NYC.
